Ah, the gong. So blatantly labour it isn't even worth pork barreling,

Yeah, the internet isn't much fun for the blind is it.

Hang on, in almost the same breath they state:

For questions about point rewards, offer content, or payment details please contact the Offer Vendor or advertising company (the company whose offer you complete). Turbine is not responsible for Super Rewards points or transactions.

Then:

If you believe that you have not received Turbine Points purchased or earned through Super Rewards, please contact Turbine.

This... does not make sense.

Good thing we won't need people with long term experience in these matters to act as experts in the system.

Good thing the people running stuff in the background can't be suborned to move votes around.

Good thing the politicians will vote to change to this system as it will remove the old representation system and all their perks.

Ways to game the system: submit votes on lots and lots of issues - DoS the votetakers and makers

Getting a policy approved that cover multiple types of issue boundary.

Defining your issue boundaries
# people come up with a policy proposal and present it to parliament
# those opposed or with a different policy engage in a lively debate

A proposes a tax on livestock entering the country. B have a different policy. B propose merging the police and the zookeepers. Someone has to say if an opposing policy fits the same area.

How well must it fit? A's policy covers health professionals. B covers them, but also anyone who works maintenance or services at hospitals. B exclude clinics.

Laws get that picky. And dumb. But many of the methods for creating laws have created a system that cannot be slashed at so quickly.

Don't kid yourself. We have a gatekeeper, they are called microsoft. They're just standing a bit back from the gate, and they left the key in their other pants. They've proved they can lock down a system with x-box. They're implementing the same thing with mobile7 - code can only run inside silverlight or their game framework for the platform. UAC in vista & 7 warns you when a program runs. How hard will it be for them to stop it running of they havent signed the digital cert? But I run linux! Or Mac! Have fun in your toy sandbox world.

and yet again, WHOOSH

I'll get my coat, it's the one with the ww2-era spy-plane plans

One Milla Jovovich please.

No linux user has ever needed latex.

Imagine if they had used frog DNA to fill in the gaps, and then left an all male population of of slugs somewhere like an island...

Thats why triffids started eating people

I'm sure you can buy a scrotum stretching rig at your better local sex shop.

I've been working on that by upping my intake of sugary drinks. The shame is, I seem to be increasing belly size at the slightly slower rate to back size. Sunbathing naked is fun tho.
